in thread Redirect output of Test::More/Simple

This code:

use warnings; use strict; $|++; use Test::More qw/no_plan/; ok(1);

When run as "z.pl > h.txt" in the command prompt (cmd), triggers the following error (tried on two different machines with different versions of Windows and ActivePerl):

Can't dup STDOUT: Permission denied at D:/Perl/lib/Test/Builder.pm li +ne 1322. Compilation failed in require at D:/Perl/lib/Test/Builder/Module.pm li +ne 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at D:/Perl/lib/Test/Builder/Module.p +m line 3. Compilation failed in require at D:/Perl/lib/Test/More.pm line 22.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\eli\perl_stuff\z.pl line 4.

However, running "perl z.pl > h.txt" works fine.
